Signed a new deal last season.
So prob 2019/20
Anyone know who Mulipola’s replacement is going to be? I imagine Cortes will be Baumann’s replacement.

I think many have never seen Shazam coping more than adequately with FH, as well as being a quick and accurate goal kicker!

Nottingham 1995-2000

A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

Was Joe acquired on his own perceived merits or did he come as part of a package with strings attached?

Don't know but I'd guess it was part of the deal,hes certainly not there on merit and there's plenty of stories out there about the Fords!

Does no one realise that Wilson is ancient and will be probably injured all the time. Much rather the club focus on bringing Hardwick through

Quite possibly. But a better bet than Myler and Foden combined with his ability to cover 10,11,12,13,14 and 15. A howitzer of a kick,very good defensively and still quick. Great one year option imo considering MoC doesn't trust the yout!

The two teams who want him tell you the quality of him.
He is better than Joe Ford is he not?
Yes but neither are good enough for Tigers.
